Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

We stayed one night on our way to Salisbury, the place was lovely, quiet and with a wonderful view on the fields. The breakfast made and served by Sue was delicious and the French press coffee much appreciated.

United KingdomWe were sad to go!
Jayne and I have stayed in many great places over the last couple of years, but after our recent stay, The Draen B&B is our favourite. The location is beautiful, the room was fantastic and we even had our own personal sitting room. Sue (our host) was friendly and she helped to make our stay as close to perfect as it could possibly be.

I enjoyed staying in Draen bed and breakfast, it is situated in a very nice, quite place with nice surrounding views. The host was very kind, caring and welcoming. She texted me to direct me to the house, she made sure i am putting the order for the breakfast. The room and the bathroom are very wide, clean, bed is very comfortable.

United KingdomNothing at all - there is a long single track lane up to the property, but I've only once ever found myself having to reverse a bit for an oncoming vehicle.
I've stayed at the Draen multiple times and that speaks volumes in itself. Sue is always super friendly and goes out of her way to cater to your every need. Breakfasts are hearty and the room I invariably choose is a good size with a lovely big shower & a very comfortable bed; just perfect following a long day walking / sightseeing. The property is also very quiet. The bonus of course is the dark sky at night and stunning views over to the Black Mountains - no light pollution in this area so be prepared for a 3D sky display of billions of sharply faceted stars. I'm a photographer and I've taken some amazing night imagery and timelapses from the lane just up from the B&B. Thanks Sue for a lovely stay. :-)
